Resumen
Descripción
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable
countries in the world to climate risks. Two-thirds of the
nation is less than 5 meters above sea level and is
susceptible to river and rainwater flooding, particularly
during the monsoon. The Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy
and Action Plan (BCCSAP), adopted by the government of
Bangladesh in 2009, seek to guide activities and programs
related to climate change in Bangladesh. Until the past few
years, climatic risks have been poorly reflected in national
policies and programs Bangladesh. The objective of this
study is to help decision makers in Bangladesh to better
understand and assess the risks posed by climate change and
to better design strategies to adapt to climate change. The
study takes as its starting point the BCCSAP. It builds upon
and strengthens the analytical models and quantitative
assessment tools already in use in Bangladesh in support of
the research and knowledge management theme of BCCSAP. The
scope of this study is more limited than the BCCSAP, so the
reported costs represent a lower bound on the total
adaptation costs in Bangladesh. The study was developed in
four discrete and somewhat independent components with
varying degrees of analytical depth and quantification.
